Identification of a Novel Parvovirus in Domestic Cats

The virus was distantly related to the well- Parvovirus known feline (feline panleukopenia virus) and canine (canine parvovirus type 2) parvoviruses, sharing low Protoparvovirus nucleotide identities in the capsid protein 2 (less than 43%). The virus was genetically similar (100% at the Bufavirus nucleotide level) to a newly identified canine protoparvovirus, genetically related to human bufaviruses. The Cat feline bufavirus appeared as a common element of the feline virome, especially in juvenile cats, with an overall Respiratory infections prevalence of 9.2%. The virus was more common in respiratory samples (9.5%–12.2%) than in enteric samples of cats (2.2%). The role of bufaviruses in the etiology of feline respiratory disease complex, either as a primary or a secondary agents, should be defined. 1. Introduction described in cats (Lau et al., 2012; Ng et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2014) (Table 1).

Prosthetic rehabilitation of total edentulous jaws patients is today a common technique that clinicians approach in their daily practice. The use of dental implants for replacing missing teeth is going to be a safe technique and the implant-prosthetic materials give the possibility of having long-term clinical success. Aim of this work is to evaluate the mechanical features of three different prosthetic retention systems. By applying engineering systems of investigations like FEM and von Mises analyses, how the dental implant material holds out against the masticatory strength during the chewing cycles has been investigated.

Does Paternal Unemployment Affect Young Adult Offspring's Personality
Does Paternal Unemployment Affect Young Adult Offspring’s Personality? Viola Angelini∗ Marco Bertoniy Luca Corazziniz Abstract Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), we analyse the impact of paternal unemployment on the \Big 5" personality traits of young adult offspring aged 17 to 25. Results from longitudinal value-added models for personality show that paternal unemployment makes offspring significantly more conscientious and less neurotic. The uncovered effects are robust to the presence of selection on unobservables and of correlation between the error term and the lagged outcome. We also discuss the potential mechanisms behind our findings. JEL classification: J24, J13, J64, C33. Keywords: personality traits, unemployment, household behaviour, SOEP. ∗Department of Economics, Econometrics and Finance, University of Groningen, PO Box 800, Groningen, 9700 AV, The Netherlands, and Netspar, PO Box 90153, Tilburg, 5000 LE, The Netherlands.

Email: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction Recent empirical evidence both in economics and in psychology shows that personality traits have strong predictive power for a wide range of socio-economic outcomes (Alm- lund et al., 2011, Borghans et al., 2008, Brunello and Schlotter, 2011, Bucciol et al., 2015). Personality matters for job performances and wages (Barrick and Mount, 1991, Hogan and Holland, 2003, Nyhus and Pons, 2005, Salgado, 1997), educational attain- ment (Borghans et al., 2008, Duncan et al., 2007, Goldberg et al., 1998, Poropat, 2009), longevity (Friedman et al., 2010, Roberts et al., 2007, Savelyev, 2014), health-related behaviours (Hampson et al., 2007) and criminal behaviours (John et al., 1994, O'Gorman and Baxter, 2002).

Dear International Student, Welcome to the University of Messina. Your Time Here Will Be Both Challenging and Exciting
Dear International Student, Welcome to the University of Messina. Your time here will be both challenging and exciting. As you know, academic mobility is vital to enhance European competitiveness. Mobility contributes to building up a knowledge-based society where awareness of cultural diversity and traditions is an incentive, rather than an obstacle, to innovation and international cooperation. This Handbook is designed to assist you while you are preparing to study in Messina and to advise you on how to organize your stay. MESSINA Several times destroyed, several times rebuilt, the ancient Zancle, later called Messanion, has been stubbornly reconstructed on the same site. Wars and earthquakes have changed its appearance but have not affected the perseverance of its inhabitants. One of its historical buildings the courtly Palazzata, facing the port, was razed to the ground by two devastating earthquakes, the first in 1783 and the second in 1908 when more than a hundred thousand people died. The new Messina was subsequently rebuilt with anti-seismic systems and a modern urban design. Nowadays very little remains of its architectural heritage: the Cathedral’s original facade dating back to the 12th century; one of Montorsoli’s masterpieces, Orion’s Fountain, which is in the Cathedral square; other historical monuments located in the city centre include the Church of the Catalans, a Byzantine construction with Arabic influences, and the 19th century Vittorio Emanuele Gallery. The statue of the Virgin of the Letter, placed at the entrance to Messina’s harbour, bears testimony to local religious traditions. She blesses Messina and all visitors arriving or departing from the City of the Strait.
